2nd amendment is right to bear arms. It's supposed to protect citizens against tyranny. The problem is that most people who have them seem to also love Nazis.
You can't use the 2nd as a defense for anything other than your right to have a gun. In the South we have Castle Doctrine. We can legally shoot to kill to defend our property and belongings at our homes. If we feel threatened, we can legally kill someone. Most people try to avoid that, or so I thought. Now that I see all the cruelty coming out of the woodwork, I'm not so sure.
